self-awareness in poetry

There’s nothing more narcissistic than
self-deprecation, of course.
It by definition involves talking about yourself,
talking about myself ‘til I’m hoarse.
Whether telling the world how great you are
or how awful you think you can be
it doesn’t sound different to others
it all comes out
“me me me me”
me me me me
me me me me
it all comes out
“me”.
